I read this book a while ago, it is about how the US Government know a few days about the Yom Kippur War, but chose not to alert Israel. The author and I shared a cup of coffee today, he served with the NSA in the 1970's and only now is he allowed to publish. Even my mother liked the book, and she is 89!
A blog about events and businesses, sales, events, classes that take place in Jerusalem.

Now I heard a rumour about this years ago The war was in 1973, I thought that the US Government knowing what was going to happen was simply Israeli paranoia But given the build up of forces at the time it is hard to believe that Golda Meir and Moshe Dayan and Israeli intelligence didn't know exactly what was going to happen

The USA believed in Israel’s own intelligence about war so did nothing to alert them. What a shame.
